    At that point, you stop watching, right? Youtube isn't some life or death resource - if they go too far, users will switch off.

    Very happy - the £100 fine isn't the problem, it's the points/day-wasted-on-useless-course that is the real deterrent to speeding. And before people say "think of the children" and…

    The "Yes or Maybe Later" dialogue boxes that festoon the internet & Windows 11 need to end - time for another law imo: "No" must always be an option, and notices must not be shown …

    If this were true, the papers wouldn't have run an article yesterday bitching about the lords sending back the workers rights bill again. The commons may _eventually_ overrule them…

    The lights aren't too bright, they're just poorly aligned. Go for a walk of an evening along a footpath into traffic. I guarantee it'll be Teslas and Minis that are the routinely t…

    Fuel duty works out at about 5p/mile. Slightly more for thirstier vehicles, slightly less for lighter vehicles. There is zero need to implement anything for petrol or diesel vehicl…

    I also use an MVNO service. I have a horrible feeling that 3 traffic is being prioritised over Vodafone MVNO traffic, leading to service deg. End of the day, I was on Vodafone's ne…

    Wasn't there a post the other day saying they'd moved it from "Ballache" to "All but impossible" to use a local account in 25H2?

    Lol. One of my colleagues had Child Services round, as their daughter had told her school he was abusing her, because he confiscated her mobile (that he was paying for). Good luck …

    Yep that. 30p/kWh in the day, 12p/kWh at night. Dry an entire load for less than the cost of a Day Rate kWh, simply by pressing the "delay" button a few times.

    Pretty common in dryers as well. They turn over and blow cold air periodically to prevent them getting stinky.

    Confused... If "struct" is "squad" Why is it "struct" in his example?

    I think just about every school in the land has one or two kids in each year who spend their lunch money on Monster/Red Bull (Caffeine is addictive - they cannot help it). Sadly, t…

    Hardly, it's full of people that each individual member state had no say on whether they were there or not. Why should someone elected by the Polish electorate, or the Romanian one…

    You're thinking too literally. The USA do not need any co-operation with from the operators of TMSC to deny China the asset. They have enough bombs. The Americans will want the exp…

    What do you mean? You fire out the "detonate" command on the frequency used by Hezbollah - only pagers connected to that network blow. It's statistically probable you'll overwhelmi…
